IBM System x3630 M4 (E5-2400 v2) 12
Memory options
IBM DDR3 memory is compatibility tested and tuned for optimal System x performance and throughput. IBM memory specifications are integrated into the light path diagnostics for immediate system performance feedback and optimum system uptime. From a service and support standpoint, IBM memory automatically assumes the IBM system warranty, and IBM provides service and support worldwide.
The x3630 M4 supports DDR3 memory. The server supports up to six DIMMs when one processor is installed, and up to 12 DIMMs when two processors are installed. Each processor has three memory channels, and there are two DIMMs per channel. The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
Mixing different types of memory (UDIMMs, RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs) is not supported.
The maximum number of ranks supported per one channel is eight (with the exception of Load
Reduced DIMMs, where more than eight ranks are supported because one quad-rank LRDIMM provides the same electrical load on a memory bus as a single-rank RDIMM).
The maximum quantity of DIMMs that can be installed in a server depends on the number of
processors (six DIMMs with one processor installed, 12 DIMMs with two processors installed)
All DIMMs in all processor memory channels operate at the same speed, which is determined as the
lowest value of:
The memory speed supported by the specific processor.
The lowest of maximum operating speeds for the selected memory configuration that depends on
the rated speed, operating voltage, and quantity of DIMMs per channel, as shown under the "Maximum operating speed" section in Table 5.
The following memory protection technologies are supported:
ECC
Chipkill (for x4-based memory DIMMs)
Memory mirroring
Memory rank sparing
Chipkill works only in independent channel mode (the default is operational mode) and supports only x4-based memory DIMMs.
If memory mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (a minimum of one pair per each processor, and a maximum of two pairs per processor), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size.
If memory rank sparing is used, then two single-rank or dual-rank DIMMs must be installed per populated channel (the DIMMs do not need to be identical). In rank sparing mode, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory. The size of a rank varies depending on the DIMMs installed.
Chipkill, memory mirroring, and memory rank sparing modes are mutually exclusive. Only one operational memory mode can be enabled on a server, and it is a system-wide setting.
IBM System x3630 M4 (E5-2400 v2) 13
The following table shows the characteristics of the supported DIMMs. Table cells highlighted with a gray background indicate when the combination of DIMM voltage and the number of DIMMs per channel still allows the DIMMs to operate at a rated speed.

Remote management
The server contains IBM Integrated Management Module II (IMM2), which provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM2 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM2 also provides a virtual presence capability for remote server management capabilities.
The IMM2 provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Common Information Model (CIM)
Web browser
IBM System x3630 M4 (E5-2400 v2) 30
The optional IBM Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade is required to enable the remote presence and blue-screen capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per
pixel, regardless of the system state
Remotely accessing the server using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping
ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. The following table lists the remote management option.

In the default UEFI configuration, Ethernet port 2 is configured to be dedicated to remote access to the IMM2. If preferred, you can change the UEFI setting so that remote access to the IMM2 is via Port 1 and also accessible to the operating system. This setting is also useful if you do not have a dedicated management network. The following table shows this setting and its effect on the Ethernet ports.
Note: The IMM2 network must operate 100 Mbps full duplex. The IMM2 network connection does not support Gigabit Ethernet. In shared mode, the production Ethernet network on that port still operates at Gigabit speeds.

Light path diagnostics panel
The light path diagnostics panel allows system engineers and administrators to easily and quickly diagnose hardware problems on the IBM System x servers. If a failure occurs, a light is illuminated on the front panel of the server (level 1 light path) to alert the systems administrator that there is a problem. The pop-out light path diagnostics panel (light path level 2) has a light against the failed subsystem. This light directs the engineer or administrator directly to the failed component, which also has an illuminated LED near it (light path level 3), for example, the DIMM error LED on the system board.
IBM System x3630 M4 (E5-2400 v2) 31
x3630 M4 offers two variants of light path diagnostics: basic and advanced. All standard x3630 M4 models include basic functionality that provides light path levels 1 and 3. Advanced functionality is optional, and contains a pop-out panel that adds light path level 2. Storage-rich x3630 M4 servers (servers with 12 or 14 drive bays) only support basic light path.
The following figures show basic (level 1) and advanced (level 2) light path levels.

IBM Global Financing can help you obtain the IT solution you need while preserving funding for other strategic investments and optimizing cash flow. Our Fair Market Value (FMV) lease helps ensure that you have the latest IBM technology, and with our mid-lease upgrade capability, you can increase the capacity of the system with little to no change in monthly payments. At the end of the lease, take advantage of our flexible end-of-lease options to fit your changing business needs. IBM Global Financing has the breadth and depth of offerings, longevity, proven success, and global reach to help you develop a robust financing and asset management strategy that provides you the opportunity to use new technologies and turn your ambitious vision into a tangible solution.
Here are some other reasons why working with us makes solid financial sense:
Expand your purchasing power: Affordable monthly payments allow you to change the technology
acquisition discussion from “what can I afford right now” to “what solution is really right for my business.” IBM Global Financing allows you to expand your purchasing power to get you the right solution.
Accelerate your project’s cash flow break-even point: Acquire your IBM technology today and begin to
realize its benefits now. An FMV lease can help you get the solution you need now, with low monthly payments that better align up-front costs with the anticipated return on investment (ROI) from the technology.
Easy to acquire with affordable rates: We offer one-stop shopping for a total IT solution, so you can
acquire IBM hardware, software, services and the financing you need from one IT provider.
Plus, we provide simple, easy-to-understand contracts and quick approvals. As the world’s largest IT financing provider, with an asset base of US$35.8 billion and over 125,000 customers, IBM Global Financing offers highly competitive rates that promote low total cost of ownership (TCO) and low monthly payments.
IBM Global Financing operates in more than 50 countries. Go to http://ibm.com/financing for financing options in your country and to contact a local financing specialist.
IBM Global Financing offerings are provided through IBM Credit LLC in the United States and other IBM subsidiaries and divisions worldwide to qualified commercial and government clients. Rates and availability subject to client’s credit rating, financing terms, offering type, equipment and product type and options, and may vary by country. Non-hardware items must be one-time, nonrecurring charges and are financed by means of loans. Other restrictions may apply.
